I just fixed Keith Richards’ Telecaster.

Written By Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Confession. Click bait title.  I did just repair the guitar input jack on a Fender Telecaster belonging to a cool new friend that plays Rolling Stones music like the incredible Keith Richards. The wire had come lose and his switches were creating a static that would upset any rocker. I cleaned the guts and resoldered the jumping jack in a flash. I couldn’t resist that.  On top of it all I am going give this guy my friends discount. Which I do if the customer is nice to me in this crazy time of my life.  I need all the smiles, compliments, and good vibes I can get. 

I love Keith Richards by the way.  Hope this new client/ friend will show me some chords.

Guitar Care and Repair is in Upper Marlboro, MD.  It’s a side hustle, super affordable, done for the love of the challenge, and meeting like minded musicians.  If I can’t do it, I will refer you to my Jedi Master in Springfield, VA. I am taking care of my wife and sometimes get overwhelmed with life.
